Operation
Filling the Water Tank
Warning! Before filling the tank make sure the iron is not connected to the
mains. Always disconnect the power plug.
In order to maintain the anti-calc system, we recommend using tap water only.
Set the steam control (4) to - (steam off).
Open the water inlet (2).
Fill in water (no additives) up to the maximum filling mark indicated on the water
tank (9).
Close the water inlet (2) again.
Please note: Empty the water tank (9) after use.
Connection to the Mains
Connect the power plug of the appliance to a properly installed and easily
accessible wall socket. The temperature pilot light (6) lights up while the iron heats
up. It goes out as soon as the iron reaches the preset temperature. You may now
start ironing.
During ironing, the temperature pilot light (6) automatically switches on and off
as the iron heats up/reaches the temperature.
Setting the Ironing Temperature
Set the temperature control (10) according to the international textile protection
symbols (located on the temperature control (10) and the washing label of the
garment).
•
Rayon, Acrylic (low temperature)
••
Silk, wool (medium temperature)
•••
Cotton, linen (high temperature)
Pre-sort the laundry if necessary
.
Steam Ironing
Please note: The iron works at a constant steam volume, i.e. the steam pressure
is always the same regardless of the filling level in the water tank (9).
Adjust the temperature control (10) to the desired setting.
Set the steam quantity using the steam control (4).
If steam escapes the soleplate (12) when the iron is held horizontally, it is ready
for steam ironing.
To steam iron delicate synthetics, set the temperature control (10) to a medium
temperature level. Once the temperature pilot light (6) has gone out, set the steam
control (4) to the steam setting. Hold the iron horizontally first to see whether
steam is produced. Then start ironing (check the setting at a hidden area of the
garment). As the steam produces a kind of barrier between the soleplate and the
cloth, most textiles are suitable for steam ironing.
